The case R. v.  Kearley  (1992) 2 AC 228 went to the House of Lords and was \'allowed\' or successful on counts relating to the hearsay evidence:
\"The appeal against conviction was based on an assertion that what personal callers and telephone callers to  Kearley \'s house said to police officers at the house was inadmissible as being hearsay. The Court of Appeal decided that the evidence was admissible and provided cogent evidence, together with the quantity of drugs and other items found at appellants house, to establish that he was a drug dealer.  Kearley  appealed to the House of Lords, and his appeal was successful in that the counts linked to the disputed evidence, i.e. possessing amphetamine with intent to supply and the two counts of possessing amphetamine, were quashed: see R. v.  Kearley  (1992) 2 AC 228\"
